Every option print, one row per execution, classified against the quote in force: aggressor side (above_ask, at_ask, near_ask, mid, near_bid, at_bid, below_bid or unknown), sentiment, the underlying price, implied volatility and delta at execution, open interest, the day's volume and the print's exchange and trade condition. Cancelled prints are not served. Give underlying_symbol or up to ten underlying_symbols. Filters on exchange and on the at/near split of a side are applied to each page after it is read, within a bounded scan; meta.coverage.scan_complete is false when the budget ended before the page filled. Rows are newest first; next_cursor_id pages back through the session and stays valid across restarts for 24 hours. Only prints retained by the platform can be served: roughly the last five sessions, and overnight prints only for the most recent session. Requesting an older session starts a load and answers 503 data_pending with retry_after_ms. A print cancelled after it was served is not recalled, and prints backfilled behind a cursor's position can be missed by a walk in progress; re-read the session for a complete view.

Example request

curl -sS --get "https://api.ordermap.si/v1/options/trades" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORDERMAP_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode underlying_symbol=SPXW

const params = new URLSearchParams({

const res = await fetch(`https://api.ordermap.si/v1/options/trades?${params}`, {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ORDERMAP_API_KEY}` },
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const { data, meta } = await res.json();
console.log(data, meta.coverage);
// Paginated: repeat with cursor_id set to pagination.next_cursor_id until it is null.

Set ORDERMAP_API_KEY to your key. Replace the dates with a recent trading date.
